NOT A MISTAKE.

Our contemporary the Aduo-
Uutc, claims Inat -lt Was a mistake
in the appointment of Mr.. w. G.
Whiting as chairman of the COM
mittee, to erect a ball for the Odd
Fellows in this city. So far as
we know, Mr.. Whiting is an in
dustrious and hard working man
and worthy of any position to
which he may be appointed. Mr..
whiting had a perfect right to
support whom be pleased at the
b. NJ. g. convention that met In
Philadelphia. Because he did
not feel disposed to support a man
not of his choice, makes him un-
tit to be chairman of a committee
to erect a hall for the Odd Eel
lows. This is the Aduocates logic.
Brother Cromwell you have made
a mistake and not Mr.. Whiting.

a dead expense aud if he was re-
moved he Iago, could run the
Office. 1t is also stated that Ger.
tain physician aided Iago in this
conspiracy to remove Loguep. This
Iago, said Matthews was too small
a man for the Senate to confirm.
But on Wednesday evening this
same Iago was seen in close cOnver-
sation with Matthews on 4th ST.,
and subquently hobnobbing with
TrOtter.
HE GETS IN HIS WORK.
Last Friday may 18th Mr.. Lo
guen was requested by Mr.. Trot'
ter to turn in his books and vacate
the Office, that he was able to run
the office himself. The BEE was the
first to hear of it and called on Mr.
Loguen and informed him of the
circumstances as they came int
the BEES possession, but not Civ
ing the authors name.
The facts of Mr.. LOguen's dis
charge were told which he acknowl
edged were true, and many other
things that cannot be published
now. This Iago of the office has not
only conspired to overthrow Loguen
and Matthews, but he is now in a
conspiracy to overthrow Trotter
He is an unscruplOus demagogue
and should be Immediately re-
moved by Mr.. Trotter. The Re
corder should make all immediate
change i'm the Office, as complaint
has been made of deeds being
changed. If the Recorder doubts
this assertion the BEE has certain
information in its possession which
will be quite valuable. An inves
tigation of the Office should be de
manded forthwith, and if there is
not an immediate change made,
the administration will be placed
iii ulSTepuUc.
There is more favoritism practic-
ed in the Office than any Office un

to control the Office and neither

Proctor Fire company No. II,
celebra'ed : its 22nd Anniversary
last Tuesday night May 10th, by
one of the grandest street paroles
ever witnessed in this city. There
were about 225 men in line each
bearing a torch light. The en-

indeed a beautiful sight to behold
The Rcck of Ages was repre-
sented and in'the centre of which
stood Miss l.. Williams, clad in
spotless white, representing puri
ty. The nickle-plated horse
truck, which is one of the hand
soonest in the south, was also
heavily laden with flowers and
streamers. The tableau on this
trnck. which represented the 4
points OF the compass with 4 pref
ty little girls, was perfectly beauti-
full. In the middle of this groupe
towering high the mid air, was a
representation of GODDESS OF Ii
berty, in the person of Miss Flor
rida Nicholas, the daughter of the
president OF the company. The
two famous brass bands, Excel.
sior and Echo, discoursed sweet
music for the occasion. Afte,
parading through the principal
streets, the company proceeded
to Irving hall where hundreds OF
ladies had assembled by invita-.
tion to participate in what proved
to be the grandest and most fash
ionable ball of the season. Messrs
ID. johnson and Willie Gaines
proved themselves equal to the
occasion as floor managers and

Ever Since the appointment of
Mr.. James M. Trotter there has
been a great deal Of dissatisfaction.
He has been talked about, abused
and criticised as being incompetent
to run the office. Those with
whom he was associated have said
the same thing. Mr.. Trotter was
made Recorder of Deeds by acci-
dent and whether there was a
bargain made between Matthews
and Trotter the BEE is unable to
state. But it looks as if the Iago of
the Office, a negro clerk has been
sailing on two boats.
This man was appointed by Mr..
Douglass and when Mr.. Douglass
was succeeded by Mr.. Matthews,
this Iago said to Matthews that
Douglass knew nothing of the office,
and many other things, that will
be published i'm a few weeks. Mat
thews was requested to get rid of
him; that he was a dangerous
man. While it is true that Mat
thews misstrusted him he was in
troduced to Trotter as very good
fellow i'm whom confidence could
be placed.
When Trotter was appointed to
succeed Matthews, this Iago began
to work on Trotter. He told Trot.

ANNEXATION OF AFRICA.

Senator Frederick Douglass, OF
Anacostia, introduced a bill in
the Senate to day to annex Afri.
ca to the United States. The bill
was favorably received and it is
quite likely that it will be opposed
by the 5 white Senators, and %
representatives in the house. 1t is
said that the bill will no doubt be
passed by large vote.

INTERSTATE COM MERGE.
SENATOR CULLOM THINKS THE
Law A SUCCESS.
lie Expects Notifications from Time
to Time as Observation-Disclosures
to be Proposed at the Next
Session of Congress.

CHICAGO, Aug Ex-senator Cullom is in
the city He refuses to talk politics, but said
in reference TO his interstate commerce hill:
"Under the law the interstate commission i,
charged with the duty of reporting sugges-
tions and amendments to the act to the Sec
rotary of the Interior, who will then report
them to Congress. | anticipate that certain
amendments will be suggested, as the practi-
cal workings of the law have shown it to pos
scss few minor defects That was to lie eX-
pected, no matter how perfect a theory
may be, the moment it is put into practice
there are certain to he some whom it Will
hurt in one way or another. Now, the other
day | had Il talk with one of the bigge st
wagon and carriage manufacturers ii the
country and he was very bitter against the
bill because it shut off his free passes. lie
said that Lofore the bil became II law Vie
railroads furnished him with blank passes,
and whel any of his customers wanted to
come to Chic so or to visit his factory in an
adjoining state, all lie had To do was to ill
out a pass and the thing was settled re-
piled to him that that was ono of the
beneficcnt features Of jhe bill, as un-
der the Old system he was given an aUvUn-
tage over the small fellows i'll his business
they could not stald up against, and that
eventually they would he crush Il out and lie
derive the benefit at tn il eSpels' He
finally admitted the justice of the dill. And
so the thing runs. Where the bill hurts it is
Objectionable, but, on the other hand. there
are thousands who are benefited. Now g.
think we will always have bill Of the kind
on our statute books, but l look for modtica-
tion3 from time to time as the circumstances
require Interstate legislation has come to
stay"
HAS the practical working of che law up
to the present led you to think of any amend
ments which will make it less odious to the
railroads and more popular with all the peo-
ples'
81 can't say that l have given it any
thought the past summer, and up to the pres
entI have thought Of nothing 10y which it
can be improved to meet the points suggested.
